Using Security in CORBA Applications

Tobj::PrincipalAuthenticator::logoff

Synopsis

Discards the security context associated with the principal.

OMG IDL Definition

void logoff();

Description

This call discards the security context, but does not close the network connections to the BEA Tuxedo domain. Logoff also invalidates the current credentials. After logging off, invocations using existing object references fail if the authentication type is not TOBJ_NOAUTH.

If the principal is currently authenticated to a BEA Tuxedo domain, calling Tobj_Bootstrap::destroy_current() calls logoff implicitly.

Note: This method raises CORBA::BAD_INV_ORDER if it is called with an invalid SecurityCurrent object.

Return Values

None.
